On Crutches, how many calories will I burn?


How many calories will I be burning while on crutches. I can only use one leg for the next 6 weeks. I have used muscles I did not know I had.

According to the site caloriesperhour.com, a 150lb person walking with crutches for 1 hour will burn 340 calories.

The site includes a caluculator where you can enter your weight and time for a customized answer.
